Album or Cover: Five Finger Death Punch's Got Your Six

Five Finger Death Punch has always been a band that wears their heart on their sleeve. While some might argue that flexing their muscles is more effective in evoking a response from their audience, sometimes putting your heart out there can be just as powerful. Their latest album, Got Your Six, is a testament to this. The slower, lighter build of the record is a welcome change-up from their usual try-hard nature.

One standout track on the album is 'Wash It All Away'. The chorus is simple yet incredibly catchy, making it one of the highlights of the record. While the band tries to appease fans of old with some tracks that are faded photocopies of a recipe they've used before, most of the songs on Got Your Six fail to impress. They plod along at mid-pace and limp shrug, lacking the bravado that made their earlier work so memorable.

Much of Five Finger Death Punch's best work has always been in their upbeat tracks - the pure adrenaline-fueled anthems that are perfect for cranking up and getting the blood flowing. While Got Your Six doesn't quite live up to this standard, it does serve as a sonic evidence of what detractors have been saying for years.

For fans of Five Finger Death Punch, hearing Got Your Six can be an epiphany - a chance to see just how much the band has changed and where they're headed. While I'm somewhat ambivalent about the band's discography overall, this album leaves me feeling somewhat on the fence. Some tracks are catchy and enjoyable, while others fail to impress. Overall, Got Your Six is an interesting but not entirely successful album that showcases Five Finger Death Punch's growth and evolution as a band.
